GIMP does not stand out as the only graphic editor that does it. Krita, Blender, Synfig, Inkscape, MyPaint - just to name a few OpenSource editors, all have the concept of saving in their unique native formats as an opposite to exporting. Not even all of them have the ability to export anything else to begin with. All the plugins handling non-native file formats are not built in GIMP library core, that's why they are called plugins. Fact is, GIMP imports alien to its core files, and following the logic, it should export them as well. That's exactly what it does. I see neither controversy nor inconsistency in that. ----- Nik O.
